I understand that there is more of hype associated with GL. Though the Futurliner is good but if I compare with the detailing between the GL and the TLV, the later is leaps ahead in terms of workmanship and explicit detailing. I sincerely wish to get TLVs here at India, across shelves. It probably would be more pocket friendly, but then the purchase count would increase too

This time the import count was huge. I love Jeep Wranglers and other than GL, not aware of any decent makers in 1:64 scale, with such wide range. So it was 6 Jeep Wranglers from US, and 3 TLVs from the US. All purchased on different dates, but all turned up at once, without customs

Below were the TLV purchases:-

Tomica Limited Vintage Nihonsha no Jidai 09 Skyline 2000GT (Silver)

Tomica Limited Vintage LV-162b Skyline 2000GT (Red)

Tomica Limited Vintage NEO Abunai Deka 07 Nissan Cedric (Black)

I am not too sure how the colors Lavender / Green will look on the Skyline 2000GT-X, as the image shown on the page is not confidence aspiring for me. Might be will order one, once I see your post.

Also have to save some money for at least one amongst the Tobu Bus / Hiroshima Electric Railway / Kokusai Kogyo. I think the orange Tobu looks fantastic. What you think?

A Toy Train Stem Engine Locomotive which has Seat for a Small children , this is a pull along toy which is build of wood and iron frame , the wheels are wooden
Special Paints are used over the wood
100 year old piece of history is still in its good condition
Length : 25.5" inches
Width : 12" inches
Height : 16" inches

Nice ones. I also have a 1/18 GT3 RSR from Auto Art. Though I feel that with a rear engine layout, engine detailing is a disappointment in Porsche models, as most of the engine is hidden / covered, and the rear boot-lid opening is narrow. Mine has just two chrome air intakes (I believe), in terms of detailing.

The AutoWorlds and TLVs are fantastic pieces of sculpture in 1:64. What do you say?

The other Skyline

You seem to have a fleet out there. Nice collection. I have one AW but am not too impressed with the paint quality around the corners or the wheel movements. Yes, they are definitely better than GLs, off course.

This one looks neat. Can you please share the link so that I can see other available options.

The latest Firebird from AutoWorld. The lines and paint job are great!

The engine and bonnet detailing is awesome.

The 1964 Ford Galaxie 500. The wheel and engine detailing is fantastic.

Note the grill details.

The rare Ford Mustang Mach 1 Ultra Red

For information, RC2 which manufactures these is owned by TOMY International which owns TomyTec ==> TLV
